Adding value to a mining corporation through project portfolio management: Combined approaches of portfolio theory and multi-attribute utility theory

Abstract

Une société minière a le potentiel d'extraire de la valeur supplémentaire grâce à des stratégies de gestion, par exemple, la gestion de portefeuille de projets. Dans le secteur minier, la gestion de portefeuille de projets peut être interprétée sous deux formes pour une grande société minière cotée en bourse : (1) la société reçoit des propositions de projets de ses mines (par exemple, expansion, remplacement d'équipement, projets sociaux et nouveaux projets d'exploration) ; ou (2) le projet passe d'une étape à une autre (par exemple, de l'autorisation à l'exploration, de l'exploration au développement, du développement à l'exploitation et de l'exploitation à la fermeture). Le problème est de déterminer quel projet doit être soutenu pour maximiser l'utilité (par exemple, la maximisation du profit, la conformité environnementale, l'acceptation sociale et/ou l'augmentation des ressources) tout en minimisant les risques.Cette thèse applique trois approches pour résoudre la sélection de projets : (1) la théorie de Markowitz, (2) le critère de Kataoka et (3) la méthode additive d'utilité. La performance et l'applicabilité de ces approches sont démontrées à travers des études de cas, et les avantages et les inconvénients de chaque approche sont identifiés

A mining corporation has the potential to extract additional value through management strategies, for example, project portfolio management. In mining, project portfolio management can be interpreted in two forms for a large mining corporation listed on the stock market: (1) the company receives project proposals from its mines (e.g., expansion, equipment replacement, social, and new exploration projects); or (2) the project transitions from one stage to another (e.g., licensing to exploration, exploration to development, development to operation, and operation to closure). The problem is determining which project should be supported to maximize utility (e.g., profit maximization, environmental compliance, social acceptance, and/or increasing resources) while minimizing risks.This thesis applies three approaches to solve project selection: (1) Markowitz Theory, (2) Kataoka’s Criterion, and (3) the utility additive method. The performance and applicability of these approaches are demonstrated through case studies, and the advantages and disadvantages of each approach are identified
